One of the first systematic models of translation assessment has been elaborated by
the German scholar Juliane House, whose book A Model for Translation Quality
Assessment first appeared in 1977. The model underwent substantial revision,
especially in its „operational‟ component, in the following years and was presented
in its revised form in House (1997). House‟s model can be said to have played a
pioneering role in many respects, especially as regards the recognition of contextual
features and the role played by different types of equivalence.
5.5 Other references within the text
5.5.1 References to longer works of fiction (novels and films)
When you refer to a whole book or film in your text, use the title of the work in italics
and capitalise the lexical words. Note that articles may not be dropped. You may use
abbreviated titles, but these should be self-explanatory (lexical words, not acronyms)
and listed in the “Abbreviations” section if they are numerous. Use the full title at
the first occurrence and indicate in parentheses how you will refer to the novel or
film henceforth:
The first line of The Color Purple (Purple) is the only one which is not included in
a letter.
5.5.2 References to short works
The title of a short story or poem (in general, any work not published under its own
cover) is capitalised and given in single quotation marks:
„My Cousins Who Could Eat Cooked Turnip‟
„Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer‟s Day‟
Titles of long poetic works, collections, or anthologies are italicised and not enclosed
in quotation marks:
Robert Frost‟s poem „The Housekeeper„ in his collection A Boy’s Will
Dante‟s Inferno
